Scottish Terrier Training
Scottish Terrier puppies are intelligent but they can be a little too independent and willful. It’s important to set a training routine early with a Scottie puppy—it should be creative, energetic, and keep them from getting bored. Boredom is a potential risk and can lead to more destructive behaviours if not properly managed from the outset. They respond to things that get them to think. For example, activities that feel like they made the decision to do them. It’s a bit of a trick. But it goes a long way since Scotties are the type of dog who know what needs to be done rather than being told what to do.

Scottish Terrier Puppy Ears
Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
